“You also seem to be a Bible literalist and beyond that, a fantatist“ Do you need any food sent in or anything? “your wife may have asked one of her spirit guides about the earthly census of that time.“ Atheists don’t believe in “spirits”, silly boy! Not do we believe in superstitions tales of nonsense for infantile minds. I guess when you eat pablum for an entire life it begins to seem like brain food, eh Brummley! Here...open wide! A little more pablum for brain fuel! :-) "By the time Adam died there were seven generations of his own offspring on the earth. A very conservative population growth calculation places the world population at 120,000 persons, minimum, by the time Adam died! One can only imagine how grand family unions must have been in antediluvian times! Evidently Cain married one of his sisters or nieces or cousins. Marriage between close relatives was not prohibited until much later-in the time of Moses---when accumulating genetic damage made birth defects more likely in the event genetically-close intermarriage took place. A tight reading of the genealogy using the Masoretic Text of Genesis adds up to 1,656 years from Adam to Noah. (That is, there do no appear to be any gaps in the genealogy from Adam to Noah). 1656 years is more than sufficient time to completely fill up the earth with people. A conservative population growth calculation would place the population at the time of the flood as 7 billion people at least, perhaps it was even higher. The time period from Adam to Noah turns out to be about 2256 years using the LXX and other versions of the Hebrew Bible such as the Vorlage Text.
